Sponsoring ISP's mission

"Suicide Kits"

With the Unemployment rates, a crashing housing market, a world economic recession and the up coming Holiday's, what is the ultimate effects on our society? A skyrocketing suicide crisis!

ISP is the only national organization that assistts suicide survivors that do not have insurance, or the money to pay for suicide scene cleaning.

There are 90 to 100 suicides a day nationally, increasing daily as the recession deepens, and 80% of these suicides are currently being cleaned up by a family member. If a person experiences the cleaning up of a family member’s suicide, they are 75% more likely to commit suicide than the general population.

With these incredibly disturbing statistics, and isn’t it good to know that ISP is there to help. ISP is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charity.

Surviving a family suicide is bad enough. Do you really want to make a family experience a double tragedy? Would you like to help? ISP is providing a solution by having our national database of volunteers ready to assist by cleaning suicide scenes, but we need your help now to meet this growing need.

Our volunteers need the materials necessary to clean the scenes. Our suicide cleaning kits cost $25.00 each, and contain the following goods; Rubber gloves, shoe booties, large trash bags, bleach, paper towels, peroxide, and spray bottles.

By donating at least $25.00 you will be helping one family not experience a life changing event that will most likely lead to another tragedy. Be a hero and help a family today.

How many families will you help?
